set_task() is perfectly fine just for a countdown. Plus executed only 1 min before mapchange... It's nothing. I don't see where is the improvement using this tuto in such case ?

Like I've said your way can be optimized a bit. ( give me some times and i will post later, I'm busy atm )

Ok , waiting for you post...

Nice This is worth +karma

You can do something like :

#include <amxmodx>

new gp_Plugin;
new gp_Timecount;

new gi_TimeCount;
new gi_CreateHud;

public plugin_init ()
{
    register_plugin( "mKSeRv Timeleft Countdown", "0.2", "KIL" );
    
    gp_Plugin    = register_cvar( "amx_mk_tlcd", "1" );
    gp_Timecount = register_cvar( "amx_mk_seconds", "60" );
    
    gi_CreateHud = CreateHudSyncObj();
}

public plugin_cfg ()
{
    if ( get_pcvar_num( gp_Plugin ) )
    {
        gi_TimeCount = max( 1, get_pcvar_num( gp_Timecount ) );
        set_task( float( gi_TimeCount ), "StartCountDown", _, _, _, "d" );
    }
}

public StartCountDown ()
{   
    set_task( 1.0, "DoCountDown", _, _, _, "a", gi_TimeCount );
}

public DoCountDown ()
{
    switch( gi_TimeCount )
    {
        case  0 .. 10 : set_hudmessage( 139, 0, 0, 0.7, 0.88, 1, 1.0, 1.0, 0.01, 0.01, -1 );
        case 11 .. 30 : set_hudmessage( 0, 255, 255, 0.7, 0.88, 1, 1.0, 1.0, 0.01, 0.01, -1 );
        default       : set_hudmessage( 255, 255, 255, 0.7, 0.88, 1, 1.0, 1.0, 0.01, 0.01, -1 );
    }
    
    ShowSyncHudMsg( 0, gi_CreateHud, "%i second(s) remaining", gi_TimeCount );
    --gi_TimeCount;
}

Notes :

- Using "d" flag on set_task means : do task on time before a map timeleft . So, "StartCountDown" will be called just one time at the right moment. It's better to call per second during all the play.

- Using "a" flag means : Repeat task a specified number of times. So, "DoCountDown" will be called as times as the provided value. No more.

- Always using a switch when you can. In such case, it's more efficient to do that.


Now, there is a problem. You cut the time in three parts to apply differents color. But theses parts are based on 60 seconds. What about if I provide another value like 30 seconds or 10 seconds ? You should considerate it. Either you calculate from this value either you can use anothers cvars. It's up to you.

As suggestion, maybe adding sound when the countdown starts, ML system ( even if there is one line ), etc..

Thank you... This is something new for me...
Yes I was thinking about adding sound but I got one problem. If I use your code , I don't understand how to add it .
My code:

 
if (g_timeleft == 50) client_cmd(0,"spk ^"fvox/fifty seconds remaining^"") 
else if(g_timeleft == 40) client_cmd(0,"spk ^"fvox/fourty seconds remaining^"")
else if(g_timeleft == 30) client_cmd(0,"spk ^"fvox/thirty seconds remaining^"")
else if(g_timeleft == 20) client_cmd(0,"spk ^"fvox/twenty seconds remaining^"")
else if(g_timeleft == 10) client_cmd(0,"spk ^"fvox/ten seconds remaining^"")

But i see now , that it looks really stupid !
So can you edit this code ?
And last... AMXX countdown last 10 seconds by defualt... If we will add countdown by voice , two voices will countdown... it's not good...

P.S I am away for 3-4 days... when I'll be back I add all you changes...

n1ce plugin but it erases from the screen hud-inscriptions from other plugins

[koss_4life]

I really like your plugin!

But Can anyone pls help me with the same plugin (but special mode )

Hi!

I'm searching for a plugins!

A kind of "countdown" plugin that show HUD-text message in the middle of the screen (10 seconds before a mapchange) this text:

"The round will restart in : (these text start to show up when 10 seconds is left of the map-time and stays there in 3 seconds - I want text in white colour)

10 - 9 - 8 -7 - 6- 5- 4 - 3- 2 - 1 (Just this text will be counted down and shows up between these two lines of text)

"Please hang on to the next episode and enjoy the music! : )" (these text start to show up when 10 seconds is left of the map-time and stays there in 3 seconds- I want text in white colour)

Picture what it can look like:



+Karma then!
